Dear Members of the Campus Community,

It is with a heavy heart that I reach out to you following yet another devastating act of violence in our country.

Our thoughts are with the victims of the horrific mass shooting that took place in Pittsburgh on Saturday—those who lost their lives, as well as their families, their friends, their community, and all who are reeling from the consequences of what has occurred.

Dear Members of the Campus Community,

A week ago, I reached out to campus about the horrific events that took place in Sri Lanka; today, we mourn another loss of life to violence, this time at Chabad of Poway, a Jewish congregation in Southern California, close to an area that many of our students and their families call home.

Dear Members of the Campus Community,

This past weekend’s celebration of holy days in both the Jewish and Christian faith traditions were marred by the horror of suicide bombings in Sri Lanka. We now understand that hundreds of people from at least eight countries lost their lives yesterday in what is being reported as the deadliest attack on Christians in South Asia. In conjunction with grief over the arsons of black churches in Louisiana and the fire at Notre-Dame, this is a time of deep sorrow for Christians throughout the world.

The following address was given by University of Puget Sound President Isiaah Crawford at the city of Tacoma's 31st Annual Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Birthday Celebration on Jan. 21, 2019.

Good afternoon. Let me begin by thanking Jenna, for that very gracious introduction; Mayor Woodards, for her leadership and kind invitation to speak today; and the Events and Recognition Committee for planning such a wonderful opportunity to come together and celebrate as a community.
